Brock Manson 0 Posted August 27, 2006 Share Posted August 27, 2006 It's me turning into a road even though it has the give way arrow painted on it. It's pointing away from me, so I thought "ah this must be a one-way street if it wants me to go down this lane" cue me instructor grabbing the wheel.

Toonraider 0 Posted August 28, 2006 Share Posted August 28, 2006 (edited) anything about stock car racing ??? i am being "taken" to the world championship stock car finals in Coventry on saturday !!!! 186145[/snapback] Gina, i spend half my life at stock car racing tracks Im not sure if you mean the F1 or F2 stocks. But anyhow, you'll either love it or be very bored! , its full contact racing, if its F2's they are very fast, look out for Billy Batten, he's a local driver from down here, (167) i think he's currently world champion....he's great to watch coming through the field from the back. If its the F1's, plug your ears up cos man are they loud!!! If you're standing close to the fence you can feel the vibration right through your body as they go past...it actually hurts your ears. We race national hot rods, which are caled the elite of oval track racing, very fast and (supposedly) non contact. But nationals dont race at coventry as i think its a shail track. Have a good time!

Craig 6703 Posted August 28, 2006 Share Posted August 28, 2006 Cole Trickle = Legend tbh np 186226[/snapback] Dale Trickle = real life legend! Used to love watching NASCAR when he was racing. Whenever they used to go 'full course yellows' it'd snap to an on-board camera angle and you'd see Trickle extract a tab and a lighter from a specially constructed dispenser in his dash! Wondered why they wore open-faced helmets Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Toonraider 0 Posted August 29, 2006 Share Posted August 29, 2006 Gina just to add. It will be packed as its the World Final, so it would be best to have tickets rather than rely on paying on the gate. Also if you stand near to the track, wear shades or be careful as flying gravel and bits of tyre in the eye bloody hurts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lazarus 0 Posted August 29, 2006 Share Posted August 29, 2006 Is this a world championship with other competitors from around the world ? or is it like all american sports where everyone is from the same country? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What else do you need to know? 186684[/snapback] Its held in Coventry because its one of the best shale tracks in the country, which is great for the F1's which are far more exciting and competitive to watch on a quick shale track rather than tarmac.
